* I see the right wing press is going ballistic over Obama visiting the World Trade center site. (I refuse to call it Ground zero, as that's for nuclear weapons, none of which were used that day. As horrible as the damage and loss of life was, look at what we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and tell me it's the same. Go on. I'll wait). Anyway, I'm betting if he hadn't gone, they'd be just as vitriolic.

* Today, the House Republicans blocked a stand alone attempt to repeal oil subsidies.

I mean, if not enough regulations gave us the huge Gulf Oil spill, think how much safer it will be if we remove even more safety regulations!

* BTW, I'm completely in agreement with the gentleman on Colbert tonight, that Lizzie Bordon was innocent. The evidence points to an extremely violent relative of theirs. nothing in history is 100% provable, but I'd have aquitted her, just like the jury did. Just saying.
